"assume the vector space is finite dimensional"

Used in print

We are trying to study a linear_operator T on the finite dimensional space V , by decomposing T into a direct_sum of operators which are in some sense elementary .

Second , even if the characteristic polynomial factors completely over F into a product of polynomials of degree 1 , there may not be enough characteristic vectors for T to span the space V ; this is clearly a deficiency in T .

If ( remember this is an assumption ) the minimal polynomial for T decomposes * * f where * * f are distinct elements of F , then we shall show that the space V is the direct_sum of the null_spaces of * * f .

Let T be a linear_operator on the finite dimensional vector space V over the field F .

Thus the * * f are projections which correspond to some direct_sum decomposition of the space V .

Areas should be large enough to include the attractions , have ample space for the use of facilities needed , and have room around the edges to protect the values of the area from encroachment by private developments .

We know that the number of radio and television impulses , sound_waves , ultra-violet rays , etc. , that may occupy the very same space , each solitary upon its own frequency , is infinite .

Three seconds flat is the usual time , and the space is crossed by moderate mileage , while the overwhelming immensity of such journeys must be conceived as a static pulsation through an enormous number of coexistent frequencies which perpetuate all events .

Advice is given also on problems of plant location and plant space .

In Chapters 3 and 4 we answered questions like those in the examples , usually by counting points in a sample space .

Since there is a continual loss of micrometeoritic material in space because of the radiation effects , there must be a continual replenishment : otherwise , micrometeorites would have disappeared from interplanetary_space .
